Several months ago the Obama narrative coalesced around some version of how Governor Romney wants to take us back to “the ruinous policies that got us in to this mess in the first place”. One can only assume that what the Obama camp is referring to here is the policies of President George W Bush. Assuming that’s the case, it’s worth taking a look at the key tenets of the Bush Presidency so that we may better understand the risk that we might somehow return to those policies. There were four defining pillars of the George W Bush Presidency. (1) an adventurous foreign policy (2) an unprecedented amount of government spending (3) crony capitalism, or favors and favorites in government (4) controversial tax cuts.
